One other thing is that unlike in Oblivion, the higher your level, the more skill points need to be raised. Which makes for a excellent opportunity to level up secondary weapon skills. Even at level 20 you can get attacked by low level wolves and bandits. Then theres the fact that not all opposition level up as you do. Its challenging, but doable and will raise your combat skills whether you want it or not

You could also try for a solorun, i.e with no followers.


The housekarls make for awesome bodyguards, in fact, that is their main purpose. They level up when you level up and they put all their skills into combat. Turn undead is neat an all, but its hardly a broken mechanic that when your conjuration level is not high retaliative to your other stats you can’t find targets susceptible too it… if your really looking to level the stat hard I’d advise against grinding anyway, I’ve seen too many people jumping constantly to level arcobatics or swimming in circles to level athletics, if your going to waste time to just get better skills within your current level, and don’t want the gold cost to train, just use the console.Īll that said though, I agree with you, I like higher level areas and lower level areas, so you can choose to push your luck or do an easy dungion without needing the difficulty slider in the options menu… especially because the higher XP and better loot entices you to try harder areas\quests.Also dont forget you get access to a follower pretty early who will kill stuff for you. Or just pay for conjuration training, that’ll get you 5 conjuration levels extra per character level, so it’ll become one of your higher ranking stats fast, with only a gold cost.Īnother way is to use a stronger spell, than other magic, scrolls, enchanted items or potions to temporarily raise your conjuration skill higher, allowing you to cast something currently unavailable to you. Just buy a cheap summon ally (like summon lesser scamp) or summon weapon\armor (like bound helm).
